E3 2013: Sony Press Conference Live Blog

It’s Sony’s turn to take to the stage at E3, and we’ll be here live blogging every minute of it.

We may know a lot about Sony’s PS4, but there’s a fair amount the company has yet to reveal. Hopefully we’ll be getting some answers today, at Sony’s big E3 conference: personally I’m praying for Uncharted 4 to join the PS4’s launch lineup, which should itself be strengthened at the show. We’ll be bringing you the news as it comes with our live blog: come back at the following times when the fun will kick off.

I expect MS to do a shit ton of advertising on the television integration, and there’s a darn good chance that they will gain some serious ground because of that. The internet will be rife with Sony fans declaring MS dead in the water, which is ridiculous. Still though, Sony won me over with their indie focus. I have preordered my PS4.

I’m seriously worried that Sony is going to have a crap launch here, and that they’re just pushing the system out asap to try and capture some of the holiday market. MS has a better launch lined up, at least as of now.

Killzone and InFamous command more of my attention than do Ryse and Quantum Break, right now. The indie exclusivity and Blacklight being exclusive may cancel out Titanfall. Or just the fact that Destiny seems like it’ll scratch that itch quite well. I don’t know, man. It wasn’t a great conference, but I think they got the message across that they wanted.

That conference was 90% SHIT. But they said the right things where it mattered. There were some cool games (infamous/the order). We know the games will come. The indie focus is good. No DRM and its cheaper. I dunno, have Sony won? Have MS clinched it on exclusives? Depends what you’re looking for next GEN.

I’ll definitely get it, but I’m not sure they are showing enough to convince people to go to Sony over Xbox One. If MS sells the tv integration enough, they stand a good chance of taking over this Christmas.

The strength of Microsoft’s conference was exclusive video games, the strength of Sony’s is about a minute of jokes. In terms of video games, I think Microsoft has done better with their console, going off E3 alone.

Exclusives shouldn’t be an issue for Sony. InFamous, Uncharted, God of War, whatever Quantic Dreams have been cooking up. I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot here. If I’m stacking them all up against just Ryse and Titanfall (especially since I have a PC capable of running Titanfall), it’s already skewing pretty hard.

Didn’t the iPad have a $499 pricetag at some point? Not saying the X1 is cheap because it isn’t, but there’s a bit of perspective there. I really wouldn’t the PS4 to be much lower than the X1’s RRP at all.
